DRESS PATTERN
Ch46 with cream yarn, make sure the chain isn’t twisted. Insert the hook in the first chain
stitch and join the foundation chain with a sl-st.
Continue working in joined rounds. Begin each round with ch1 (ch3 after round 13) and
finish with a sl-st in the first stitch of the round. The first stitch should be made into the
same stitch in which the sl-st was crocheted.
From the round 3 start alternate mint, milk and pink colors. Change color each time you
crochet the last st. of the round.
